"All scheduled and current gun-related deals featured on
Groupon North America, including shooting ranges,
conceal-and-carry and clay shooting, have been placed on hiatus
while we review internal standards that shape the deal inventory
we feature," a Groupon spokesperson told Daily Finance.

"The category is under review following recent consumer and
merchant feedback."

Michael Cargill, the owner of a gun shop in Texas, said that his
Groupon deal — for a concealed handgun training course — was
canceled and that the representative told him Groupon CEO
Andrew Mason was behind the decision.

"The Groupon representative calls me up and he says that 'Well,
because of the CEO, he's decided to suspend all Groupon deals
related to handguns, concealed handguns or anything dealing with
guns period,"
Cargill told FOX 7.
